This unique online delivery format is the most cost-effective and efficient way to provide a BSN degree online to nurses
who hold an associate degree or a diploma.

Clinical requirements are met through relevant application-based assignments completed in the workplace.

is ACEN/NLNAC accredited.

How Do I Choose Provisional Admission? Please select Provisional Admissions within the application.

Please Note: If you need a degree plan for tuition reimbursement you will need to opt out of Provisional Admissions
during the application process and choose Full Admission. You will receive a degree plan upon Full Admission. However,
in order to process your file, additional time will be needed.

Also, if you do not indicate on your application that you have an Associate Degree in Nursing from a US based regionally
accredited institution with a school of nursing with NLNAC/ACEN accreditation, your application will be processed
in the traditional fashion.
